Foot Tapping & Heart Stopping O.P.
The King of Rhythm After a great night’s rest, you wake up one fine morning and start sipping a cup of fresh brewed coffee admiring the eastern skies reddened with beautiful sunrise. Then all of a sudden you hear a distant radio playing a familiar tune permeating the tranquility of the quiet morning. Did your heart flutter? Did you miss a beat or two? Then perhaps you were listening to a song carried through the gentle morning breeze composed by the King of Rhythm, O.P. Nayyar Saab. That music, like the beautiful morning you are enjoying, lifts your spirits even further up. For that moment you forget all of the life miseries and transcend in the joy the song provides shelter for. Now, that is the power of moving music! There is some definite magic in the O.P. style of music. It is as stylish as the man himself. It is as interesting as the genius behind the music. It is as intoxicating as the distinctly sweet voice of Geetaji or beautifully seductive voice of Ashaji or the unique vocals of Shamshadji. The clip-clop sounds with the fusion of folk music and the modern instruments make his music a standout. OP Saab provided countless number of some of the most memorable and hummable tunes ever. In a span of 42 plus years, he composed music for 54 movies. Except for one or two in the beginning of his career and one or two at the tail end of his career, he delivered one hit after another hit. This was one continuous hit parade ever put on display. Based on the premise to make melodious music, he created new sounds. He experimented by juxtaposing sounds of various instruments in coming up with some of the most melodious and memorable tunes ever composed in Hindi film industry. OP by his own admission was an illiterate in music. He couldn’t read the music notations or the alphabets of music. Yet this “handicap” must have given him a new perspective of how an everlasting melody should be created. Sometimes literacy can impede in growth by discouraging to try experiments that create strange new sounds. Well aware of his own limitations, OP Saab still created many beautiful new sounds through the tunes. I have been fond of OP’s music ever since I started losing myself in good music and the rich lyrics the poets seems to generally endow them with. Enthusiastically I have been collecting his albums over the years. Currently I have in my possession 32 CDs. That represents 60% of his films. I also have most of other songs from his other movies obtained from various sources including some from different CDs. In the coming weeks I would like to share with you the music of OP Saab from the CDs I own. The filmography of these CDs is shown in the following table.

I was eagerly awaiting for this album. IMHO, Dilraj Kaur has done good justice to the songs, but the inevitable comparison to Asha ji overshadowed the talent. I think the producer Ratan Mohan stood by OP sahab when he was deserted by Asha ji and again IMHO OP sahab has given great music for this album. Big thanks for posting these in CDQ.

Mujrim (1958)
Here is a movie made by F.C. Mehra of Eagle Films. This was the first of several movies Shammi was associated with Mehra. I think this was the last movie OP provided music for a Mehra movie. Mehra swicthed to Shankar-Jaikishan after this movie and the team made several successful musicals. The switching happened not becausae Mehra wanted it, but Shammi insisted on it. More on this in Shammi's topic on SKS at proper time. Ragini, the youngest of the Travancore sisters, made a few Hindi movies. She was the heroine of this picture. Even though it was out and out a Shammi's film, most of the songs were picturized on Ragini using her dancing talent as the backdrop. So most songs are female vocals. Incidentally, the Eagle Films banner is still alive. It is run by Mehra's son. In the late 80's he made a movie with the same title "Mujrim" but not with the same story. There are eight songs in this album. Some are from different CD collections and others are from tapes. Therefore you will find their quality not uniform. With that warning, here are the details of the songs and the songs themselves ... Attached image(s) |
